Family Trust & Foundation Setup Advisory in Dubai, UAE

Family Trust & Foundation Setup — Protect and Preserve Your Wealth. High-net-worth families and business owners increasingly turn to trusts and foundations for asset protection, succession planning, and intergenerational wealth preservation. The UAE offers world-class trust and foundation frameworks through the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), both operating under common law jurisdictions with robust legal infrastructure. Al Aegis Corporate Services guides families through the entire process of establishing trusts or foundations in the UAE. We assess your family's needs, recommend the optimal structure (trust vs. foundation), advise on jurisdiction selection (DIFC, ADGM, or other options), and manage the complete setup process — from structuring and documentation to registration and governance framework design. Trusts and foundations serve multiple purposes: they protect assets from business creditors and legal claims, enable smooth succession planning, provide privacy, allow for charitable giving, and can offer tax planning advantages. The DIFC and ADGM frameworks are recognized internationally and provide the legal certainty and flexibility needed for complex family wealth structures. Our advisory extends beyond setup to ongoing governance, compliance, and administration support. We help you design governance frameworks, appoint trustees or council members, establish distribution policies, and ensure ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements.
